Can I use multiple DAQmx Assitants in a single VI?

[DaniMor]

Hello,

I am working to create a VI that has 3 different incoming signals. I would really like to be able to program 3 DAQmx assistants, one for each of the incoming signals, which would be placed where the signal simulators are in the attached VI. Is this even possible? Is there a way to get one DAQmx assistant to produce each of the incoming signals without bundling them?

Creating 3 different assistants is sillier than using 1.;)

Seriously, if you must use the DAQ Assistant, you can only use 1. Just include all of your channels. The instructions for including multiple channels are pretty clear when you first select the DAQ Assistant. There is no bundle involved.

I have used one DAQmx with the 3 inputs but I always get one data output that ends up combining my signals. If this is how it has to be done, do you have a suggestion for how to seperate them. Is there a place in the DAQmx setup that will create 3 data outputs?

There are several ways but if you want to stick with express functions and the evil dynamic data type, just use the Split Signal function. Please turn on context help and read the descriptions as you move the mouse over the functions on the palette.
